Winter Igloos at St John's Restaurant Wellington

Being that it's a nip too cold to sit outside in the evenings, we are grateful for St John’s Bar & Restaurant's cute and cosy solution: igloos.
Where: 5 Cable Street, Te Aro, Wellington
When: 24 July - 13 September
From Friday 24th of July, windswept Wellingtonians can step in out of the cold into their own private, cosy igloo at St John's restaurant.
The 'St John's Winter Igloo Village' is offering a package for groups of 2-6 an igloo for 2 hours at a time with food and drink included for $49 per person. There are mid-afternoon sessions and dinner bookings 7 days a week and take home blankets are also available for $5.
The options of cocktails on arrival are mouthwateringly wintry: there's Mulled wine, Kiwi Mojito, Blood Orange Delight, Winter Colada, Smoked Bacon Old Fashioned, and Cherry Hazelnut Meringue... And the food is similarly hearty and warming with grazing boards, grilled sirloin, roast root vegetable salad and churros, among other things.
Plus what's not to love about drinks in an igloo?

We start by sharing what’s on the dish team’s radar, what we’re watching, listening to and reading. Harry Butterfield puts a twist on his Nonna’s agnolotti, Malissa Fedele reminds us of the importance of fibre, and Phoebe Holden fulfils a long-held dream, sitting down with Yotam Ottolenghi. Autumn is an abundant time, we make the most with pumpkin, kūmara, cabbage, cauliflower, feijoas, apples and pears. We’re dishing up dinners for two, including a Chicken Dumpling Lasagne, alongside easy weeknight meals. We honour our mums, revisit timeless classics, and add a little baking challenge. This issue, we encourage you to slow down, to enjoy writing your shopping list, and spending time in the kitchen. Because even when life feels relentless, there’s always space to share something delicious.
